Wild Alaskan Salmon

It is tough trying to find Wild Alaskan Salmon. Seriously – at Costco – my favorite store – I can only find farmed salmon. I want to increase my intake of fish – to at least once a week – but I do not want to eat farmed salmon.

This past weekend, we were shopping at Costco and stumbled upon a box of Morey’s Seasoned Grill Wild Alaskan Salmon in the Freezer section. Six 6 oz filets – marinated and ready to cook $14.99 or approximately $7.50 per pound. The farmed “fresh” salmon was upwards of $10.00 per pound. What the hey – purchased two boxes. Had friends over that evening and put 8 pieces on the grill. Served with a side of Sour Cream seasoned with Dill. Everyone loved it – or at least ate it. The left overs were the next day’s lunch. This evening we had the remaining 4 – grilled outside.

Each piece of fish came vacuumed wrap – soaking in a marinade which does not contain overt sugar.

Here is the nutritional label.

I do not usually recommend a product. In this case – I’m all for it. Hope I’m not wrong.

Have been loving Morey’s Seasoned Wild Alaskan Salmon from Costco for years now. We pan fry them. We also love Kirkland Tilapia loins pan fried in Olive oil and fresh herbs to taste.
Another possibility at Costco that you might consider is canned “Bear and Wolf” brand Premium skinless and boneless Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon. Nothing plain old canned food about it. It is nutritious and delicious.
Also sometimes available is the “Wild Planet” brand and that isn’t bad either but “Bear and Wolf” is awesome. Some mayo and some Kirkland bacon bits and you have a salmon salad that tastes right.
Only Once and recently we ran into beautiful fresh wild caught salmon filets at Costco at 4.99lb. The farmed fresh stuff was right nearby and more expensive. This wild caught fresh salmon was delicious, and yes I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE WHOLE CASE. Next visit there was only the fresh farmed stuff.

We’ve been eating that canned salmon for years. Our local Costco no longer carries it. No canned salmon at all. It has been replaced with a couple of different brands of tuna – I am not happy. That was actually the reason we went looking for the Salmon filets.

We cycle in the Kirkland Wild Alaskan Smoked Sockeye Salmon for breakfast, A couple of ounces chopped up and mixed into scrambled eggs and fried onions makes a great breakfast.

I’ll check out the Tilapia.

A guy who works at Costco once told my wife – if you think you want it – buy it – you can always return it – and it might not be here when you come back. Sage Advice.
